A licorice-dominated dark wheat beer – almost like licorice lozenges; but that’s alright, since I love licorice, especially when it’s not in sweets. Is the flavor brought about by oats? Anyway, although it’s been laced with ammonium chloride, the taste is balanced off by a sweetness – so it’s not as nauseating as it sounds… Far better, in my opinion, than its light-colored counterpart, “Enkens Anden Lyst”.

Oct 12, 2008 Near black colored with red hints, little beige head. Strongly sweet and roasted aroma with smooth tone, some smoke also present. Medium bodied, smooth palated. Flavor is even more sweet with caramel and roastiness, aftertaste turns to slight vanilla with same caramelly roastiness. Good one, rather sweet though.

Jul 1, 2008 0.33 l bottle. Dark almost black color with small peige head. Sweet aroma with coffee, chocolate, licorice and honey. Sweetish flavor with coffee, licorice, low to medium bitterness, some graininess and hints of metal. Soft oily mouthfeel. Good aroma.

Jun 2, 2008 Very dark brown with more head than glass (or poor pouring skills). The nose is dominated by roasted malt with a bit of chocolate. Sweet and light flavour.
